Hard agree. My point was that the “safety” premise would be unworkable politically if so many people didn’t just let young kids loose with unrestricted smartphones in the first place.

I can’t help but think this could have been avoided if people would take some responsibility and turn on parental controls for their kids. 90% of the shit they’re trying to “protect the children” from would be invisible and they wouldn’t have this trojan horse stuffed with fascism.

I thought I was the only one pondering on this. It’s been a wild ride and I’m so glad I got to take part in the 90s, when web 1.0 was wild and free. What a blast that was.

But it’s over now, we’ve ruined it, like we ruin everything, and I hope soon we’ll all be collectively ready as a species to dance on the grave of our dead internet.
